TV tonight: Lennox Lewis on the golden age of British boxing

Four Kings

10pm, Channel 4

Across a week in 1993, half a billion people tuned in to watch Chris Eubank, Nigel Benn, Frank Bruno and Lennox Lewis fight for the biggest honours in boxing. In this compelling four-part documentary, the four men speak frankly about the golden age of British boxing – from the gory (tongue gashes, detached retinas) to the glory, the racism of the time and, of course, the rivalries. There are surprisingly heavy moments, too, as they reflect on what it all meant. Hollie Richardson

The Great Pottery Throw Down

7.45pm, Channel 4

The Great Pottery Throw Down continues as judges Keith Brymer Jones and Rich Miller set more fiendish tasks for the 10 remaining home potters, battling it out for the crown of clay. This week’s tests involve making a crafty “puzzle jug”, before tackling a surprise second challenge – blindfolded. Ali Catterall

Call the Midwife

8pm, BBC One

It’s Easter in Poplar and what better way to celebrate than a community freakout over a potential rabies outbreak? Meanwhile at Nonnatus House, Rosalind nervously introduces her parents to Cyril, and Trixie meets a pregnant Northern Irish woman who is too traumatised to give birth. HR

Ant & Dec’s Limitless Win

8pm, ITV1

The biggest prize going in a gameshow, because it is limitless, is up for grabs again. Likable married couple Efe and Kevin are next to take on the questions this week – and hopefully they have brushed up on their Rihanna, Roald Dahl and Nirvana knowledge. HR

The Night Manager

9pm, BBC One

Something is off if your six-part thriller takes four episodes to set up its premise but, by the end of this instalment, we’re finally there. Last week’s shock development prompts the return of Olivia Colman as anguished spook Angela Burr. Our hero Tom Hiddleston, however, is still underemployed. Jack Seale

After the Flood

9pm, ITV1

Series one of the climate crisis-adjacent cop drama ended on a cliffhanger: would trainee detective Jo Marshall (Sophie Rundle) risk imploding her own life to expose police corruption? It’s now a year on in Waterside, but no less tense, as the threat of moorland fires rises and another body is discovered in bizarre circumstances. Ellen E Jones

Film choice

Harvey, 11am, Film4

“For years I was smart. I recommend pleasant.” James Stewart’s amiable everyman qualities are to the fore in Henry Koster’s warm-hearted 1950 comedy. He plays Elwood P Dowd, a harmless drunk who hangs out in bars with an invisible 6ft white rabbit/fairy spirit called Harvey. Or is his alcoholism giving him hallucinations? The townsfolk either keep their distance from him or play along, but his sister Veta (a terrifically flustered Josephine Hull) is at the end of her tether. Despite his possible mental health issues, Elwood’s ethos of enjoying all life has to offer is a persuasive one. Simon Wardell

Charade, 1.10pm, Talking Pictures TV

She may have been going on half his age, but Audrey Hepburn’s partnership with Cary Grant in this 1963 crime caper is a near-perfect Paris match. As experts in quick wit and smooth romance, they skip through Stanley Donen’s thriller, set in the French capital, about a widow (Hepburn), her recently murdered husband’s stolen $25k, and the bad guys who want to know where it is. Grant is the helpful stranger with secrets of his own. Donen, a veteran of the MGM musical, keeps things colourful in spite of the peril-laden plot. SW
